Uncovering worthy gifts for the adventurous world traveler can be difficult. They’ve traveled the globe – hiked up mountains, swum across rapid rivers and flown the skies. What more could they possibly want?

Look for witty gifts with a practical purpose. From a travel diary to a language course to a tricked-out Nikon camera, fun but useful presents are the way to go.
